"The completeness of the solution is what we like the most."
"There are lots of free learning materials on their website."
"The varied prebuilt feature is the most valuable because it ensures that we have complete coverage over all of the key questions."
"It has reduced the time to resolution, time to investigate, and time to troubleshoot for debugging issues."
"Ease of correlation, creating correlation searches are easy and you can combine multiple sources with little effort"
"Its UI features to create charts can also be improved. Some features could have a link to the documentation."
"More dashboard is required, out-of-the-box, for OpenNMS."
"Writing queries can be a bit difficult because the syntax must be maintained."

"It currently has limited default rules and customizations. If they can concentrate more on the compliance part and the security information part, it would be helpful. The platform part is good, but it requires many features from the security aspect."
"I think the tech support response time could be a bit better. Sometimes I need to wait more than 24 hours for a response to my tickets."
"Previously, they developed custom connectors or add-ons for a lot of applications. But that number can be upgraded still. There are a lot of applications in the world that are not supported."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"The integration could be a bit better. They charge for certain integrations."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
